Abstract: This study evaluates the adsorptive removal of ammonia from aquaculture effluent by Thermally Activated Ball Clay (TABC) and Non-Activated Ball Clay (NABC) adsorbents. Experimental design and number of experimental runs was executed by Response Surface Methodology (RSM) "Design Expert version 13". Characterization of TABC and NABC by Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed the presence of porous morphology and functional groups: hydroxyl, carboxylic, hydrogen bonding and aldehyde group that aids ammonia adsorption. Effect of varying pH, temperature, dosage and contact time on ammonia........

Key Word: Ammonia, adsorptive removal, optimization, ball clay and RSM

Abstract: Microalgae are renewable, sustainable, and economic sources of biofuels, bioactive medicines, and food ingredients. Several microalgal species have been studied for their potential as value-added products with remarkable pharmacological and biological properties. Oedogonium and Chlamydomonas are microalgae belonging to the class Chlorophyceae. These microalgal species have rarely been studied. This project aims to promote an important metabolite, cellulose. This accounts for 22% of the dry weight of Oedogonium and 20%
of the dry weight of Chlamydomonas. A low concentration of NaOH (1.75 %) and sodium hypochlorite (4.5 %) enabled the recovery of relatively..........
